- The San Francisco Historical Society celebrates iconic Italianate architecture with a passionate look at the beloved but neglected Englander House on Franklin Street before it makes its way to a new home in the Alamo Square district.
Got here from sfgate. I really appreciate the effort to preserve history through these amazing buildings
It's a bummer to see them show off the beautiful interior features and then explain the building will be gutted for "adaptive reuse."
Saw this on the CBS evening news and had to check it out since lived in the Richmond District between 1988-98 and there were still some small earthquake homes like the one on Clement between 21st and 22nd now gone. All this talk about this rare specimen is moot since once the house is gutted it will no longer be a rare specimen but simply an old shell around a 2021 interior. Much like a 32 Ford which has been modernized and the only vintage parts left are the metal body panels.
This is beautiful! I hope they don’t modernize and keep all the historical stuff inside.
Hope they post the moving of this beauty. Wow!
This is So nice. Keep going.
So glad they are saving the Victorian. The new apartment looks like just another new, glass apartment building - boring and bland.
Sounds like they’re going yo gut and carve out several units in that beautiful Victorian. smh.
They are going to ruin it by putting in 7 units. SMH
Is there a Part 2?
So after moving, the original Franklin St site will have a bland 20 unit apartment built on it? Too bad you aren't going to mimic the old Victorian style.
So utterly sad that they intend to ruin such awesome historical beauty. First, by moving its location, then by altering its original intended use by gutting its interior to "make room" for losers and their nasty families to invade. Why bother spending $400,000 to move the house? Then another half mil or mil to further annihilate the thing! Lord how I loathe humans.

I’m glad the home is being saved, but yet another gutted Victorian in town turned into multi-family housing? 🤦♂️ Do we have any single-family Victorians left? The city is getting further and further away from what made it the most charming town on earth in the first place.
WHY would you want to make such a beautiful and historical home into a multi-family building?!!!? I hate when people take such beautiful homes and turn them into apartments. You know that they're going to have to make major changes to it to accommodate making it into separate apartments. Shame shame shame!!!
shame its being turned into a apartment building.
This video is great but it’s annoyingly chopped up. Very poor editing. I wish they would’ve just stuck with one topic and showed more of the original interior without changing direction. I am happy that they are preserving history though.
Oh dear you will ruin the historical value and integrity of the interior of the building by making it a multi-occupancy building -and why move it: It's just all about making money these days. So sad -and then building up high to get the 'rent' money in. There must be better things that could be done to save this old building and house people. :-(
